Belarusian authorities have deported a Moroccan student enrolled at Grodno State Agrarian University in western Belarus after two run ins with local law enforcement, the press service of the internal affairs directorate of the Grodno regional executive committee said.
The student was detained in December after attempting to leave a shopping centre with an unpaid item concealed in his bag, the statement said.
He told officers he liked the product but could not afford it, and an administrative offence report was filed.
Police checks later showed he had previously been cited for drinking alcohol in a public place and received a formal warning, the press service said. After the second offence, authorities ordered his removal from Belarus under migration rules and barred him from re entering for five years, it added.
Officials did not identify the student or give further details about his studies, visa status or travel home country.
